    Lovely setting,Only downside is the twin bedroom which is ‘compact’ and would benefit from a blind over the velux window for those that prefer a dark bedroom

  • Chris Collins

    We loved our stay in the cottage. Comfortable and quiet, yet within easy walking distance of the town shops etc. would highly recommend it.

  • Julie Whitton

    We have stayed at Coyles Cottage a number of times over the years. We keep coming back because the cottage is always immaculate, well maintained and refurbished periodically. The owners are also very welcoming and friendly though respectful of our privacy at the the same time.The area is great for walking, sightseeing, touring, and Ballater itself is very well provided with shops for day to day living. Excellent.
